DFT hitachi flasher program

January 29th, 2009, 14:18

Hi.
I need to flash a hitachi drive, I have the firmware,but the program exits without doing it.
Does anybody have DFT ( Drive Fitness Tool ) in complete version, to have the option to do it in the tab "utilities" --> "download microcode", . It is very similar to the program for fujitsu drives.

Why do u need to "Flash"? HDD´s are not motherboard´s, or CD RW to "flash it"

walroro,
as far as I remember Hitachi finally fixed the bug with updating drive which were locked with a password
Drive will not be updated if it has password protection enabled

In fact, first unlock then update.
